Smart spoon
A spoon that weighs what is on it and classifies the food, so calories are counted from the bite rather than typed in.
- When
- 2024 - 2025
- Context
- The University of Texas at Dallas
- Built with
- Sensor integration, Embedded C/C++, Python
Problem
Calorie tracking depends on the person logging honestly and accurately, and both fall apart within a week. The measurement has to happen where the food is.
Approach
Built weight measurement into the spoon itself and paired it with an AI classifier that identifies what is being eaten, so the mass and the food type are captured at the moment of the bite instead of recalled later.
Outcome
Calorie counting that takes no input from the person doing the eating.
